Bomber Strikes Kurdistan
Democratic Party's Mosul Office
MOSUL, Iraq, January 15, -- A suicide car bomber
killed at least five people and wounded 28 more in
an attack on an office of the Kurdistan Democratic
Party (KDP) in the northern city of Mosul on Monday,
police and a Kurdish official said.
Police said the number of civilian casualties was
four dead and 26 wounded.
Lieutenant Ahmed Zebari, a military officer with
links to the KDP, said inside the office one more
person was killed and another two wounded. They were
taken to a different hospital.
The KDP is one of the two ruling parties in nearby
Kurdistan autonomous region, in northern Iraq.
With a mixed population of Sunni Arabs and ethnic
Kurds, Mosul has long been a flashpoint of violence.
The KDP has offices in Mosul, Baghdad and other
cities outside Kurdistan region to represent Kurds'
interests there.
